I am using the PHP extension with php4.0.3 with the 11/1 nightly build of
3.3.0.12.

I am trying to write a simple identify tool which opens to a new window.

The problem is that browser complains with an empty page error when I try to
query the layer.
I don't even get "Hello World" dumps.

Has anyone heard from DMSolutions about their big contract for a new version
of the php module with extended functionality?

TIA,

Here is the php code (theme,mapx and mapy are passed in as args)
<?
  // Only Load the extension if needed.
  if (!extension_loaded("php_mapscript.so"))
     dl("php_mapscript.so");

  $map = ms_newMapObj("gaar.map");

  $aLayer = $map->getLayer($theme);

  print("<html><head><title>Identify Results for ");
  print($aLayer->description);
  print("</title></head><body>\n");

  print("Hello World<br>");

  $pt = ms_newPointObj();
  $pt->setXY($mapx,$mapy);

  // Huge Tolerance to ensure something is hit.
  $qrset = $aLayer->queryUsingPoint($pt, MS_MULTIPLE, 300);

  if ($qrset==0)
    print("No Results Found<br>");
  else
    print("Got Results<br>");

  $qrset->free();

  print("Hello World");
  print("</body></html>");
?>

Here is my map file
